Tennis player Jessie Pegula had a message she wanted to get out to the world after her victory against Samantha Stosur in the Australian Open on Thursday: Let's Go Buffalo!
Pegula, the daughter of Buffalo Sabres and Bills owners Terry and Kim Pegula, wrote "Go Sabres, Go Bills! Hi Ons" with a smiley face on a television camera after she advanced to the third round of the Aussie Open on Friday. Tweet from @JLPegula: @BuffaloSabres @BuffaloBills and as requested @Ons_Jabeur 😆 #AusOpen pic.twitter.com/ALzcD2fwLz While the "Go Sabres, Go Bills" part of the message was obvious considering her parents, the "Hi Ons" was a message to fellow tennis player Ons Jabeur, the 27th seed at the tournament. Jabeur, who is slated to take on No. 3 Naomi Osaka on Thursday at 9:30 ET, got a good laugh from the shoutout.
The unranked Pegula turned some heads when she upset 12th-seeded Victoria Azarenka on Monday. She is scheduled to face Kristina Mladenovic in the third round on Friday.
